Making Climbers Climb
![IMG_20200417_181121.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F19/QDN9/K931K8V5/F19QDN9K931K8V5.jpg&filename=IMG_20200417_181121.jpg)
Growing up rather than out is a good way to save space in the garden. You also get to enjoy lots of great vine plants such as sugar snap peas, pole beans, moonflowers, bougainvillea, and clematis. Adding a trellis or some other vertical structure to your garden also gives you a whole new dimension of visual interest.
Climbing is a parasitic behaviour that saves a plant the effort of making a strong trunk or stems of its own. There are several distinct strategies. Ivy uses specialised roots that work into tiny fissures in tree bark or a wall, while clematis has leafstalks that twist around the stems of another plant to anchor it as it grows. Cucumber plants have tendrils that wrap around another stem and then pull the plant up by coiling up the tendrils.
Supplies
1. Any sapling of a climber. (Considering bottle gourd here)
2. Plastic net (dimensions depend on how much space you have in your backyard)
3. Old metal wires (just some scrap metal to serve the purpose of tieing)
Defining the Boundary

You have to see how much area would be covered and accordingly cut the plastic net.
Holding the Net Into Place

I tied each wire with a plier to ensure the nets don't move.
